Over the past decade, a very considerable amount of effort in stellar dynamics has gone into the study of interactions between binary systems and other stars. The asymptotic analytic results obtained by Heggie (1975) for binary-single star encounters have been largely confirmed and extended by later numerical experiments (Hills 1975, Hut and Bahcall 1983). Binary-binary interactions have been studied by Mikkola (1983).
